Speaking to the BBC's cameras a short time after match day referee Graham Scott blew the final whistle, West Ham manager David Moyes explained.

'When I took over we were in the relegation zone and I'd have said 'you're kidding' if you'd said we could get into the top 10. It's great credit to the players. We want to keep improving. There's not that big a points difference between 11th, 10th and ninth.'

Watford head coach Javi Gracia in his comparative interview explained.

'We were very soft in the first half and didn't create many clear chances during the game. The problem today wasn't a striker who will score. We have Troy Deeney, we have other players. Today we didn't create clear chances.'
